Film & music
consultancy.

You may be preparing your first independent film, developing an established production company’s next project, planning a music video or looking to take completed work into a new market.

RIM helps you clarify what your project needs, identify suitable options and build a realistic approach to delivery. Our support can focus on one specific challenge or connect several stages of your creative journey.

Give your story a clear creative direction.

We help you explore how a film’s story, characters and cultural context can translate into a compelling screen experience.

Consultancy can cover:

• Script and concept feedback, narrative focus and creative positioning.
• Directing approaches, visual storytelling and performance considerations.
• Cultural authenticity and presenting African stories to international audiences.
• Preparing for conversations with producers, cast and creative collaborators.

Build the foundations for a well-prepared production.

Filming across countries brings creative possibilities alongside practical decisions. RIM helps you consider how locations, teams, resources and production stages can work together.

We can support production planning, assess potential collaborators and explore approaches that combine filming in Africa with suitable UK post-production services. The focus is a coherent plan that reflects your project’s ambitions, available resources and delivery needs.

Plan how your work will reach its audience.

A finished film needs a considered route into the market. We help you explore the audiences, territories and release opportunities most relevant to your project.

Our consultancy can address festival positioning, cinema and community screenings, exhibition opportunities, digital distribution options and preparation for discussions with distributors or sales partners.

We also help you sharpen the materials behind those conversations—from a clear project synopsis to an audience proposition and presentation package.

Find a setting that serves your vision.

Whether you need a filming location, screening venue, music-video setting or space for a creative event, RIM helps you develop a focused brief and explore suitable options.

We consider creative fit alongside practical factors such as access, capacity, technical requirements, local support and budget. Where appropriate, we can help facilitate enquiries and introductions to relevant venue operators or local collaborators.

Start the right conversations across borders.

Finding a collaborator involves more than exchanging contact details. It requires a shared understanding of the project, the contribution needed and the intended outcome.

RIM helps film and music professionals explore connections across Africa and the UK, while supporting projects seeking relationships with US industry counterparts.

This can include identifying potential producers, directors, performers, production teams, music professionals and event partners, then helping you prepare a clear and credible collaboration proposal.

African stories and musical expression carry distinctive voices, histories and possibilities. Taking that work across borders calls for cultural understanding, thoughtful positioning and practical preparation.

RIM brings production, directing, distribution and audience considerations into the same conversation—helping you see how today’s decisions can support your project’s wider ambitions.

We begin by understanding your idea, your current stage and the challenge you want to solve. We then agree a focused consultancy brief.

Depending on your needs, the work may result in a creative review, practical action plan, location or venue shortlist, collaboration brief, or distribution roadmap.

You leave with clearer priorities and a defined next step.
